BENJAMIN F. SWEZEY, OF BUFFALO, MINNESOTA.

WATER-HEATING' SYSTEM.

Application filed February 16, 1924. Serial No. 693,336.

To all 'whom i mm/ Gomera:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN F. SWEZEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Wright and State of Minnesota, have invented new and useful Improvements in Tater-Heating Systems, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in oil stoves, the general object of the invention being to provide means for heating water by the flame which is used to heat the articles being cooked, thus utilizing the heat from the fiame for two purposes.

Another object of the invention is to provide means whereby the water is caused to circulate through a coil which is located in the chimney of the burner, with means for making the chimney separable so that the coil can be gotten at for Cleaning and repairing purposes.

Another object of the invention is to form the parts so that the water heating arrangement may be attached to existing models of oil stoves with but slight change thereof.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or co'rresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a front view of an oil stove showing my invention in use.

Figure 2 is a view of one of the burners with parts of the chimney broken away to show the coils within the same.

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view through a chimney.

Figure 4. is a view of one of the uprights.

Figure 5 is a sectional detail view showing the means for attaching a pipe to an upright.

Figure 6 is a view of the outer member of the chimney.

Figure 7 is a view of the inner member thereof.

In these views 1 indicates the burners of an oil stove to which oil is supplied by the pipe 2. These burners are supplied with the chimneys 3 and each chimney is of telescopic formation. The inner member a of each chimney has its bottom of ring Shape to fit around the burner and the rest of the member is of semi-tubular Shape with notches 5 formed in one edge thereof. The outer member b is of tubular shape with its upper end partly closed and this member b fits over the member a and has a slot 4 therein with notches 4' in one wall to register with the notches 5 in the member a. When the parts are assembled the notches a' and 5 will form openings which pass entirely through the chimney while the slot 4 will be closed by a portion of the member a and the cutaway part of member a will be covered by member b. Each member b is provided with a door 6 which is preferably of the form shown in the drawings. A coil 7 is arranged in each chimney and one end of the coil is connected with a water supply pipe 8 which leads to a suitable tank and the other end of each coil is connected with a return pipe 10, so that these two pipes support the coils with the connecting parts between the coils and pipes passing through the openings forme-d by the notches 4' and 5 in the chimneys. The water pipes are supported by the uprights 11 which have their bentends connected with the top and bottom parts of the stove. Each upright comprises two parallel pieces forming a slot and the pipes are connected with these uprights by the hooked bolts 12 which pass through the slot and have their threaded ends engaged by the nuts 13. The hooked parts engage the pipes and a plate 14 is placed between the upright and the pipe. Thus the pipes are adjustably mounted on the uprights.

From the foregoing it will' be seen that the heat from the burners will be utilized to heat water as well as-to cook the articles on the stove. By making the chimneys separable, the coils can be readily gotten at to clean them or repair them and the means for adjustably holding the pipes on the uprights permits the coils to be adjusted in relation to the burners to securev the full heating effect, from the flame.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I clam is z-l 1. In combination With an oil stovee, a sectional chimney for the burner there-of, a coil arranged in the chilnney, a i Water supply, pipes connectng the same With the coil, uprights connected With `the stove, means for adjustably connec-ting the. pipes With the uprights, such means coinprisng hooked bolts engagn'g the pipes and passing through slots in the uprights and nut-s and plates -for clznnping the bol-'ts to the uprights.

2. In combination with an oil stove, a telescopc ,chimney for the burner thereof, one pai't having a slot therein, `emil the other part having notches in the portion which covers the slot, a coil in the chilnney, pipes connected with the ends of the coil With the connecting parts passng through the notches and slots and a Water supply conv nected With Htlleqipes.

In testimo'ny Whei'eof I aflix my signature.

BENJAMIN F. SWEZEY.
